Chanonry Sailing Club

COVID-19

Most organised activity is still either cancelled or postponed and individuals may sail while observing Government's hygiene and physical distancing requirements. The situation is under continuous review and further suspension seems probable at this stage while we are under Phase 3 restrictions. We will communicate with members by email and publicly via this website and our two Facebook Groups; Chanonry Sailing Club and Chanonry Rowing. Bulletins from the Club are posted in the News Blog.

We are now programming Recreational Sailing on Sunday afternoons supported by one Safety Boat crewed by a single household. Information and requirements in the form of guidance are posted in Return to Boating under the ACTIVITY main menu.

The Dinghy Regatta, Cruiser Regatta and the Black Isle Challenge Cup were all cancelled. Hopefully we can run these in 2021.

The Committee agreed the plan for a return to boating in a progressive manner as the Scottish Government announces the implementation of Phases 2 – 4. The document and associated resumption of activities action list prepared in April are published on a new page on the web site - at Return to Boating.

During Shielding, Self Isolation and Social Distancing you may want to exercise your grey matter with some online sailing activity. Go to Sailing from Home to see some options including racing.

We will expand the programme as soon as possible and in the meantime please be assured that your Committee is very much aware of your best interests. In the meantime keep safe and try to find other ways to keep fit and healthy, and to be sociable. If you have any questions please use info@chanonry.org.uk.
